OZONIZER.

Application led March 6, 1907.

To all whom it may concern.:

Be it known that we, JAN STEYNrs, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at New York, N. Y., and HENRI CUAUMAT, a citizen ofthe Republic of France, residing at Paris, France, haveI invented a newand useful Ozonizer, which is fully set Jforth in the followingspecification.

The present invention relates to an ozonizer which makes it possible toapply, for feed purposes, cooling by expansion with adjustable externalwork and adjustable back pressure at the outlet from the ozonizer(process described in -our separate application of same date bearingSerial Number 360,842).

This ozonizer is shown in the accompanying drawing.

Figure 1 shows a general arrangement of the apparatus and a connectiondiagram of the electric circuit. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of theozonizer proper. Fig. 2a is a vertical section through a part of theozonizer showing the movable electrodes withdrawn. Fig. 3 is ahorizontal.cross-section.

The system taken as a whole (Fig. l) comprises a compressed air motor Mfed by means of a pipe c. The motor is diagrammatically shown loaded bymeans of a series of pulleys and belts and by a weight P. The exhausttakes place at b into the cooling boxes n n and the air enters theozonizer O at c. The escape of ozonized air takes place at d through oneor more vertical pipes, provided with cocks 1* enabling the backpressure to be regulated. These pipes discharge into a collector C.

The ozonizer is provided at g with a clear glass through which theworking of thc apparatus is visible. At f and f are the current supplyterminals, at h a high pressure fuse, at t a thermometer and at m apressure gage. At B is arranged the box surrounding the ozone chamber,which box may be fed with the required cooled liquids through pipes 7cand 7c.

A lateral nozzle shown at Zprovided with a cock Z makes it possible,after having isolated a given ozonizer from the general collector, toconnect the back of one ozonizer to the front of another, so as toincrease the path of the air in the etiluvia, and thus to increase theproportion of ozone for special purposes.

The ozqnizer proper comprises an elongated metallic box (Figs. 2 and 3)of which the two ends are detachable. Round the Specification o LettersPatent.

Serial No. 360,841.

central portion of the said box is arranged the box B hereinbeforereferred to. The upper wall, in addition to the pressure gage andthermometer also carries two electrodes E, E which are insulated fromthe metal by thick glass disks. In the interior of thel box is arrangedthe ozonizer block separated from the wall by two thick glass plates1,1. The ozonizer block is constituted by a number of metal plates 2 and2 alternately connected to one and the other electrode. The plates ofdifferent polarity are divided by glass plates 3 and a certain 'space ofair. The plates of the group 2 are fixed and held by grooved porcelainblocks 4 secured to plates 5. The plates of the group 2 form a movablewhole which can be driven more or less into the group 2 of the fixedplates so as to vary the length of the efl'luvia. These plates areguided at three points by other porcelain blocks 4 secured to the plates5 In Fig. 25L the movable plates are shown completely withdrawn, thedistance between the inner ends of the movable plates 2 (marked by thedotted line and the outer ends of the stationary plates 2 being the,lsmallest length of the efiiuvia.

The plates are provided with small proj ections `6 by means of whichthey can engage with the grooves of the porcelain blocks. Owing to thisand to the arrangement of porcelain blocks in balile plate order, noneof the insulating blocks are situated in the path of the eHuvia, evenwith its edge.

A diagram of the general arrangement of the electric circuit is shown inFig. 1 above the apparatus.

The ozonizer 1s fed with current from the y high pressure circuit of atransformer T. One of the ends of the said circuit shows a break or gapat 7. The supply being at a very hi h ressure, this break may be usedextinguished by the electromagnetic force developed. Thiselectromagnetic force is of constant direction and sign. ln the event ofan accident to the ozonizer' bringing about an increase of the strengthof current there also takes place an increase of the strength eflluvia,and means for insulating said metal plates, substantially as and for thepurpose specified.

2. The improved ozonizer comprising a The electromagnetic forceA box4with detachable ends, insulated elec trodes, an ozonizer block composedof two series of metal plates alternately connected to one and the otherof said electrodes, one

series of said lates being stationary and the other movable to vary thelength of the eflluvia, porcelain blocks arranged in steps out of thepath of effluvia to guide the movable plates, and glass plates forinsulating the plates of diiferentlpolarity, substantially as and forthe purpose specified.

In testimony whereof We have signed this specification in the presenceof two subscribing witnesses. Y Y Y JAN STEYNIS.
